Thursday, August 1st devotional Good morning, Author Gary Ryan Blair writes; "Learning is about more than simply acquiring new knowledge and insights; it is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Thus, forgetting is probably at least as important as learning." What a revealing statement about what we need remember and what we should forget. We tend to forget how fortunate we are to have good health until we’re sick. We tend to forget how fortunate we are to have a job and income, until we go without income for a few days or weeks. We tend to forget the things we shouldn’t and then remember some things we should forget. And we often forget to be thankful. In 1 Thessalonians we find this instruction; “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (5:18 NKJV) This verse means we should take the time recognize what we do have, and to be thankful. A thankful attitude is amazing. A thankful attitude surprisingly bears the fruit of inspiration in difficult moments. Heavenly Father, help us to take hold of the power of being thankful. In Jesus name, amen.
